There is a case for Real Madrid to score over 2.5 goals. Elche have conceded 13 goals in five rounds. But there is a detail that cannot be overlooked: Real Madrid have only scored three or more goals at home so far. They now have to travel to Elche. The hosts are conceding 2.6 goals per match. At...

Reading — Brentford

Completed

Reading host Brentford in the third round of the League Cup, with the market pricing Under 3.5 goals at 1.85. That equates to around a 54% fair probability — almost a coin toss between a high-scoring and a low-scoring scenario. My view of the match leans more strongly towards the lower-scoring op...

Ipswich — Arsenal

Completed

Arsenal's defensive statistics in the League Cup support Ipswich Town under 0.5 goals at 2.12. In eight of their last 10 matches, opponents registered no more than four shots on target. This statistic alone does not predict a clean sheet: a team can score from a single attempt. It shows how rarel... Read prediction

Liverpool — Tottenham Hotspur

Completed

At Anfield, Liverpool have won more often in the League Cup: six victories from their last ten home matches. That is not why I am backing X2 at 2.00, though. What matters more is what is happening now. Liverpool have drawn three of their four Premier League games, so another draw no longer looks ... Read prediction

West Ham United — Fulham

Completed

Fulham are in the Premier League, while West Ham are now in the Championship. But the difference in divisions does not make me want to oppose the home side. West Ham have avoided defeat in normal time in nine of their last 10 home League Cup matches. That is not enough for a West Ham handicap (0)... Read prediction

Barnsley's two heavy defeats in a row are there for all to see. But the visitors won both matches at Peterborough last season, each by a 1:0 scoreline.
